The Heiress's Second Chance At Vengeance (Eliza) novel Chapter 115

Chapter 115 Desperation and Deals

Evelyn jumped in quickly. “Of course it’s a profitable deal! We’ve got some inventory–antiviral meds and face masks. I wanted to ask if you had any channels to move them. If we make money, we can all share in

it.”

As soon as she mentioned inventory, Grace’s eyes lit up.

“Oh? Those meds and masks are still in short supply. What price are you thinking?”

She was clearly interested.

“We’re thinking one–sixty a box,” Evelyn said directly.

Grace’s expression darkened. “One–sixty? You’re joking, right?”

こ

“Not at all,” Evelyn said helplessly. “That’s what we bought them for. But who knew the price would drop so fast? We had no choice. Otherwise we wouldn’t have come to you.”

“If you’d come to me a month ago, I might’ve been able to help move them. But now? One–sixty a box? That’s just not going to happen. Let alone turning a profit.”

Grace shook her head.

She wasn’t stupid. She wasn’t going to take the loss for them.

“But a lot of people still don’t know the prices dropped, right?” Evelyn said. “As long as we can unload them in three days, we can still make something. I’m willing to take a loss-—just not a total one.”

She added, “Look, our kids are already engaged. We should be helping each other out.”

When Evelyn brought up Zayden and Naomi’s engagement, Grace hesitated again.

Making connections was one thing. But this was clearly a losing deal.

“I can try asking around, see if I can find any buyers. But I can’t promise any set price,” Grace finally said.

“Just the channels are enough. Nathan said he’s willing to sell at half–price if needed. Even that’s still four million!”

Evelyn winced just saying it.

If it hadn’t been for Eliza stirring up the hype with those meds and masks, she never would’ve gone all in like this.

She’d already swallowed her pride. But she couldn’t afford to swallow the whole loss.

“Madam Grace,” Naomi said softly, “can I talk to Zayden alone for a moment?”

Grace lit up.

“Of course. I’ll have Zayden take you upstairs.”

She gave Zayden a meaningful look.

Zayden clearly didn’t want to agree.

But under his mother’s pressure, and not wanting to embarrass Naomi in front of both families, he had no choice.

“Come on,” he said to Naomi. “Let’s go upstairs.”

Seeing that Zayden didn’t resist anymore, Naomi followed him up.

Meanwhile, Evelyn and Grace stayed behind, discussing ways to get rid of the leftover meds and masks.

Once upstairs, Naomi threw herself into Zayden’s arms.

His expression changed instantly.

“Naomi!” Zayden shoved her away. But she clung to him like an octopus. “Zayden! Listen to me! I really like you. Let’s just finalize our engagement, okay? Once we graduate, we can have the wedding.”

Zayden’s face turned darker.

“Naomi, calm down.”

“I am calm,” Naomi said, looking up at him with watery eyes. “Zayden, I’ve liked you for a long time. Haven’t you noticed?”

She hugged him tighter. “I can’t go abroad anymore. Can you… just not push me away?”

Zayden went quiet.

His mind flashed back to years ago, when Naomi went overseas with Nathan and Evelyn. His mom had been on a business trip.

During that time, Eliza had been sent to stay at the Holt family home for two weeks.

He and Eliza had lived together during that time.

He remembered once seeing Eliza crying by herself.

She thought her parents had abandoned her.

Back then, he had no idea how to comfort anyone. He just hugged her gently.
